Players still out there for tomorrow

Give me hurst and jewell in round 4

I'd love Hurst, but his medicals must be pretty messed up if he's still on the board. It's pretty weird that he got cleared by two sets of doctors, yet teams still have him as DND.

Getting Jewell and Elliott would probably be our best bet at this point.

Samuel is a running back.

Jerry just said they could’ve got back in round 3 but they would rather pick 2 guys in the 4th over the 1 guy in the 3rd.

Thanks catch.

Hurst's heart condition has been compared to players that are no longer in the leauge as a result. Hurst has said it's not an apples to apples comparison (not in those exact words). So exactly what is the condition? I've tried finding reports on the medical records but couldn't find anything. Anyone know anything about this?

I'd agree with this. After we got Gallup, there weren't any players that I thought we just had to have. Ronnie Harrison's the only guy I would have considered.

This is what Brugler had on him (in listing him as the 18th best player in this draft:


WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal bulk for an interior player, especially in his lower body…only average length…base tends to narrow in the run game…comes off the ball with low pad level, but plays taller as the rep continues…relies on initial movements to win the rep and needs to develop his countermeasures…times up the snap well, but also guilty of his share of offsides penalties…finds himself too far upfield at times, selling out for the sack…only one season as a full-time starter…red-flagged at the Scouting Combine and diagnosed with a potentially serious heart condition – met with cardiologists and specialists who cleared him to resume all football activities prior to his pro day.

SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Michigan, Hurst played significant snaps as an underclassman understudy, but didn’t get his chance to shine as a full-time starter until his senior campaign. He was used all over the defensive line, mostly as a nose tackle in Don Brown’s blitz-heavy, attacking front-seven, utilizing his initial quickness to knife through gaps or overwhelm blockers with his burst of momentum. Hurst’s quick reflexes show at the snap, but he needs to improve his counter moves and introduce more discipline mid-rush to not overrun his assignments. His lack of ideal size and length might not be considered a “fit” for every scheme, but he has the frame to add functional mass and certainly doesn’t play like a small player on tape. Overall, Hurst has the initial surge of quickness and power to break the rhythm of blockers and his ball recognition and competitive hunger are NFL-ready traits, making him ideally-suited as one-gapping defensive tackle in an aggressive scheme – his heart condition will be viewed differently around the league.

GRADE: 1st Round (#18 overall)

"serious heart condition" This is all I've been able to find too.

It would be nice if this was clear cut with a specific diagnosis.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I would be all over Ogbonnia Okoronkwo

I have two reactions on it, one is that a lot of things don't really have a cut and dried diagnosis. But most of all I would bet its a La'el Collins situation where most teams are lemming runing scared.

Love Hurst and Settle. Watched Elliott a lot at Texas, don't really want

 

[stilltheguru88]

I would be all over Ogbonnia Okoronkwo

And kick Crawford off the edge? Never!

 

[gmoney112]

I'm hoping they bring Logan Woodside into camp

Draft Hurst DT and Hines RB in the 4th and call it a day. We could trade out later picks in this draft for earlier picks in next years draft. Start preparing for the UDFA race. Get your contracts and representatives ready to fly out as soon as the draft is over to sign the top UDFA's.

Give me Tim Settle and Nyheim Hines/EQ St. Brown and I'll be real happy!

I like your thinking!

Those guys are underrated IMO. I've watched all three play because they are in the ACC.

 

[ghst187]

Give me
Hurst pending medical status or

Poona, or Settle
Fumagalli
Kiser
Jewell
St Brown or Cedric Wilson

My guess is that we will take QB Falk

Heard good things about them all.
I tend to favor DL, so I'm a big fan of a guy like Settle. A dude that size should not be that quick.
